TARBAT NESS was much too keen when well behind Tin Fandango at Newbury two runs ago but he placed again at Nottingham next time and has shown enough to suggest he can win a low-grade handicap over this sort of trip. Grandmaster Flash is looking a light of former days but Berkshire Sundance was third at Kempton having a first try over 2m and Easter Icon won at Catterick before finishing third at Pontefract. Lock The Vault is totally unexposed and took a step forward last time so any market interest would probably be significant.
